Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

"I see. So this cycle can solve the problem, but..." Ling Dan hesitated, as if she had thought of something.

"Sister can accelerate this cycle. After all, I am the child of the Father God, and my body contains the earth, so I can draw upon the Great Dao and accelerate this cycle." Houtu smiled, then turned to Ling Dan: "Alright, sister will go to the Blood Sea with you!"

With that, he took Ling Dan and flew off into the distance. Ling Dan nodded in agreement.

Years later, Ling Dan and Hou Tu traveled through many human tribes and eventually arrived at the Blood Sea.

When Styx saw Houtu, he was also puzzled: "Fellow Daoist Houtu, you've also come to my Blood Sea? Welcome, welcome..."

"Fellow Daoist Styx... I've come here to accompany Ling Dan. Secondly, it's to resolve the problem you're facing," Houtu said directly, without hiding anything.

"Solve the problem I'm facing? This..." Styx hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ling Dan.

Ling Dan nodded: "Senior Styx... Sister Houtu came here with me this time to help me resolve the negative energy contained in the Blood Sea Divine Soul."

"Really?" Styx was also surprised, but then his expression turned to joy.

What could Ling Dan say? She could only reply, "Of course it's true!"

Upon hearing this, Styx turned to Houtu with excitement, asking, "I wonder how Fellow Daoist Houtu will resolve the issue of the Blood Sea Divine Soul?"

"It's very simple. I can manipulate the earth's energy and digest negative energy," Houtu said calmly.

"Earth Qi? Fellow Daoist Houtu... I also know that Earth Qi has certain effects. But these effects are negligible... Wait, could it be that you can accelerate this process? That's right, that's right, you are a descendant of the Great God Pangu, capable of controlling the primordial land and also able to draw upon it." Styx wasn't stupid, and quickly grasped the core idea.

Soon, Ling Dan and his group arrived at the Asura Creation Land.

Now, the many remnant souls here devour each other, fall into the pool of earth to be tempered, and transform into complete divine souls.

"Are these the divine souls?" Houtu gazed, very calmly.

"Yes, these are the divine souls," Ling Dan said, then grabbed at them, and many divine souls flew over.

Houtu gazed at it, without giving it much thought. With a flick of her sleeve, she drew upon the earth's energy, transforming it into a miniature primordial wilderness. Then, she drew upon a special kind of creative energy, along with a dragon vein, and poured it into it.

"Divine souls, enter..." As she said this, Ling Dan poured many divine souls into it.

As the divine soul merged into it, the seasons changed, and everything transformed. In this miniature version of the primordial world, the earth gradually deepened, spiritual energy flourished, and dragon veins grew stronger…

Countless negative energies were drawn from the soul, merged into the earth's energy, and were then devoured by the dragon vein.

This process, if placed in the outside world, might take several cycles or even an era to evolve.

But now, accompanying Houtu, it only takes a few short years.

Several years later.

The spiritual energy in this shrunken primordial world increased several times over, and the dragon veins also grew significantly.

At this moment, the souls within emerged, each one utterly pure. There was no negative energy accompanying them, nor any special markings; they were simply pure souls.

Not only that, but this pure divine soul emerged unaffected by the sea of ​​blood.

"As expected... The fusion of numerous remnant souls had long been imprinted with the traces of the Blood Sea. Even now, after being purified, they can still adapt to the environment of the Blood Sea." Ling Dan said silently, looking at such a soul.

Styx was overjoyed and excited: "Such a pure divine soul, containing the imprint of the Blood Sea, combined with the tempered Blood Droplet, can definitely evolve into the most perfect Asura race. I, I..."

"What are you waiting for? Evolve the Asura race..." Ling Dan said, pointing with his fingertip, and the Asura soul flew out.

Styx couldn't wait any longer and took out the refined Blood Droplet, sending it soaring into the sky.

In an instant, the divine soul and the blood droplet merged, intertwining and forging the Dao essence.

"Driven by creation, soul and body merge, transforming into Asura..." Styx roared, then turned to endless Daoist charm.

At that moment, creation merged, condensing the soul and essence, and together they formed a special red lotus.

At the core of this crimson lotus, Zeng Xian was a fleshy ball. This fleshy ball drew in the energy of the sea of ​​blood, the spiritual energy of this place, and even the bloodthirsty energy.

With a pull, a rich life force pulsated, beating like a heart. It stirred the very core of the Styx River, filling him with excitement. It was a race, the race of the Blood Sea, the people he had longed for.

The Styx River has been lonely for countless years, but today it finally witnesses the birth of the Blood Sea Clan.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed. This Asura has evolved for tens of thousands of years.

Finally, accompanied by the sound of shattering.

"Crunch, crunch..."

The ball of flesh shattered, and a vibrant life force spread. A life emerged from within it.

The creature that emerged was a blue-faced, fanged being with three heads and six arms, clad in crimson armor, wielding deadly weapons, and exuding murderous intent as it slowly approached.

This life emerged, shouting at the heavens, and the endless bloodthirsty energy was devoured.

He himself gradually took shape and walked towards the Styx River and towards Ling Dan.

"The Asura race pays respects to the Ancestor. We thank the Ancestor for bestowing upon us Asura flesh and blood." The Asura knelt and bowed, showing great respect to the Styx Ancestor.

Then, this Asura knelt before Ling Dan and Hou Tu, saying, "The Asura race pays respects to Lord Ling Dan and Lord Hou Tu... Thank you for bestowing upon us Asura divine souls..."

We kneel in reverence and express our sincere gratitude.

Ling Dan gazed at him, but didn't say much, only nodding.

Houtu, however, disagreed.

The man knelt down and said to Ling Dan and Minghe, "Greetings, Ancestor, greetings, Lord Ling Dan."

Styx laughed heartily: "Haha...good, good...the Asura race has finally been born, born..."

Styx was very excited. He knew very well that the birth of the Asura clan had fulfilled his dream and made him no longer lonely.

He was very happy and excited, and thanked Ling Dan and Hou Tu.

Ling Dan remained calm: "Proclaim it to heaven and earth. The birth of a new race must be announced to heaven and earth..."

"Yes, yes... Announcing to heaven and earth, my Asura race is born! Let all living beings know that a new race has been added to the primordial world, the Blood Sea Asura race!" Styx laughed joyfully, then shouted to the heavens, "Haha... From this day forward, within my Blood Sea, there is also a race. This race is called: the Asura race!"

In the primordial world, whatever race was created, it had to be announced to Heaven and Earth. Heaven and Earth had to know and acknowledge it. Only in this way could a race be affirmed.

Now, under the call of the Styx River, the Asura race is enveloped, causing them to intertwine in a sea of ​​blood and be drawn by a vast fortune.

At that moment, a vast amount of merit suddenly descended upon the world. That merit fell upon the Asura race, the River Styx, and Ling Dan and Hou Tu.

The sudden merit, though not as great as the merit of creating humans, still amounts to as much as forty percent. Forty percent of the merit of creating humans is also a very impressive number.

Such a great deal of merit left the joyful Styx dumbfounded, as well as many powerful beings in the primordial world.

In the present primordial world, all places are peaceful. As such, many powerful beings have gone into seclusion to cultivate. However, the sudden influx of merit has brought many of these powerful beings to their senses.

Seeing that merits were lost in a sea of ​​blood was particularly puzzling.

"Isn't the Blood Sea the location of the River Styx? What did the River Styx do to gain so much merit?"

"The Asura race? Styx, Lingdan, Houtu... how did they come together to create a race? The Asura race, what kind of race is this, and how did they accumulate so much merit?"

"Hiss... This Asura clan is quite interesting. A race born from the sea of ​​blood, they are born with the supernatural ability to refine blood and evil energy. No wonder they gain merit."

"So that's how it is! No wonder Heaven and Earth bestowed so much merit. It turns out the Asura race can absorb the bloodthirsty energy and then purify it. If this were to develop, the primordial world would become very clean!"

"That's natural. Bloodlust energy is a special energy formed from the intertwined flesh and soul of countless fallen cultivators. It can taint the flesh, soul, and artifacts of cultivators, and is quite disgusting. The disappearance of this bloodlust energy will benefit the entire prehistoric world."

Many powerful beings in the primordial world sensed the unique nature of the Asura race and instantly understood what was going on.

Ling Dan and Minghe naturally knew the reason. They never expected that the innate supernatural power of the Asura clan was actually the ability to refine blood and evil energy.

It is important to know that in the primordial world, wars were constant, creating endless negative energy, including boundless bloodlust.

This kind of bloodthirsty aura is difficult to dissipate and gathers in the sea of ​​blood.

However, there is a limit to how much it can bear, so in many places in the prehistoric world, there will be some blood and evil energy.

This kind of aura can pollute the prehistoric environment, causing many cultivators in the prehistoric world to perish and suffer from pollution.

Now that the Asura clan can absorb this aura to cultivate, they can naturally gain merit.

Styx's expression held a hint of surprise: "The Asura clan purified the primordial world, bestowing merit from heaven... Haha, my Blood Sea Asura clan has actually gained the recognition of heaven and earth. This also means that the Asura clan can continue to exist, indelible..."

Styx was excited, and also well aware that countless races existed in the primordial world. But with the passage of time, countless races perished. Once powerful clans had vanished without a trace. Therefore, even after the birth of the Asura race, Styx could not guarantee that the Asura race would continue.

But now, the heavens have bestowed merit upon them, recognizing the Asura race.

Styx knew that the road-building clan would continue forever.

The continuation of the Asura race allows them to assist the primordial world in purifying the bloodthirsty energy. This uniqueness and responsibility also means that as long as the bloodthirsty energy of the primordial world persists, the Asura race will never perish.

Ling Dan herself never expected that the Asura race she created would yield such results.

Speaking of which, Ling Dan knew that many ancient fantasy novels mentioned that the birth of the Asura race would bring merit. But they never explained why the Asura race gained merit. Now, however, Ling Dan knew.

The merit of the Asura race's birth is equivalent to 40% of the merit of creating humans.

Of all these merits, Ling Dan received a full 60%.

There was no other way; after all, the birth of the Asura clan was entirely created by Ling Dan, and the Styx River merely provided the materials and the venue.

Ling Dan collected all these merits and virtues to use as the foundation for achieving Hunyuan in the future.

Styx once again said, "Young friend Ling Dan, fellow Daoist Hou Tu... I truly thank you for creating this eternal Asura race for my Blood Sea."

Styx once again said, "Young friend Ling Dan, fellow Daoist Hou Tu... I truly thank you for creating this eternal Asura race for my Blood Sea."

"No need to be so polite. I have also benefited greatly from the birth of the Asura clan." Ling Dan also expressed his feelings and agreement.

Styx disagreed with this and instead welcomed Ling Dan.

Ling Dan smiled, but inwardly she pondered, "Senior Styx... now that the Asura clan has been born, I can say I've fulfilled my promise. Of course, the merit I've gained is an unexpected surprise."

"That's natural. From now on, the Blood Sea will be divided in two. One half will be given to young friend Ling Dan." Styx was not polite at all and was very generous, offering half of the Blood Sea to Ling Dan.

"So much? This..." Ling Dan hadn't expected the Styx River to be so kind, giving away half of the Blood Sea.

"Haha... Young friend Ling Dan, the Blood Sea is a filthy place that countless cultivators in the prehistoric world despise. Since you are willing to come and help me create the Asura race, I will naturally give you half of the Blood Sea." Styx was also serious.

Upon hearing this, Ling Dan pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense.

To all living beings in the primordial world, the Blood Sea was a filthy place, one to be avoided at all costs, and naturally, no one would want to enter it. Furthermore, the birth of the Asura race, recognized by heaven and earth, signified great fortune and opportunity. Relying on such a race, it would be difficult for the Styx River to perish.

Therefore, given this opportunity, he was willing to give up not only half of the Blood Sea, but even some treasures from the Styx River.

Ling Dan wasn't greedy and accepted half of the Blood Sea.
